# How to use local docker images with Minikube?

To use local Docker images with Minikube, you can follow these steps:

1. Start the Minikube cluster by running the following command:
    
    ```bash
    minikube start
    ```
    
2. Build the Docker image: Build the Docker image using the `docker build` command. For example, to build an image from a Dockerfile in the current directory, run the following command:
    
    ```bash
    docker build -t my-image .
    ```
    
    This will create a Docker image with the tag `my-image`.
    
3. Load the image into Minikube: Load the Docker image into Minikube by running the following command:
    
    ```bash
    minikube image load my-image
    ```
    
    This will load the `my-image` Docker image into the Minikube Docker daemon.
    
4. Use the image in a Kubernetes deployment: You can now use the `my-image` Docker image in a Kubernetes deployment by specifying the image name in the deployment manifest. For example:
    
    ```yaml
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    metadata:
      name: my-deployment
    spec:
      replicas: 1
      selector:
        matchLabels:
          app: my-app
      template:
        metadata:
          labels:
            app: my-app
        spec:
          containers:
          - name: my-container
            image: my-image
            ports:
            - containerPort: 8080
    ```
    
    This will create a deployment with one replica and a container named `my-container`, which uses the `my-image` Docker image.
